Get Snack-Happy

Nothing should come between you and your almonds and that’s that. Fortunately, almonds are the easy snack that fits in anywhere, everywhere and anytime too. Check out these hot tips for conquering any snack attack with almonds’ totally craveworthy crunch.

“The Recovery”

Worked out hard this morning? Give yourself a hardcore protein snack to match. A handful of almonds makes the perfect post-“feel-the-burn” recovery snack.

“The Morning Prep”

Take your oatmeal from “meh” to “mmm” by sprinkling on some almonds. Whole, slivered, sliced—any almond form will do.

“The Crunch-Time Rush”

Skipping breakfast? Puh-lease. Snack on a handful of almonds in the car on your way to work. They’ll help you feel full and satisfied as you take on the day (and the traffic). Almonds also make healthy snacks for work.

“The Mid-Morning Battle”

Show that vending machine it’s not the boss of you by trading B4, C5 and D11 for a handful of almonds instead. Just keep a jar in your desk drawer for easy access.

“The Salad Plus-Up”

Sure, sure—salads are crunchy and refreshing, but adding almonds turns them into a real treat. Just picture it: that light, buttery, nutty flavor atop your favorite greens and veggies.

“The Chip Switch”

Crave crunch at lunch? Almonds can satisfy that. Trade in your chips for a handful of savory flavored almonds like chipotle roasted, wasabi or dry roasted.

“The Afternoon Lull”

Two more hours until dinner? That’s nuts. Instead of dipping into your secret stash of “emergency only” chocolate, grab a handful of almonds to power you through the PM.

“The On-the-Goer”

Errands and shuttling the kids around can really ramp up the hunger. Keep an almond stash in your purse (almond tin, anyone?) to kick those on-the-go grumbles to the curb.

“The Trail Mixer”

If you like a variety of textures in a healthy snack, make your own perfect combo with almonds as part of the mix. Dried fruit, chocolate chips, coconut shavings—get creative.

*Good news about almonds and heart health. Scientific evidence suggests, but does not prove, that eating 1.5 ounces per day of most nuts, such as almonds, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease. One serving of almonds (28g) has 13g of unsaturated fat and only 1g of saturated fat.
